NOMADS welcomes Tess Mendes as our first ever guest on our podcast! In this episode, we talk about Tess' unique backstory from pre-med to urban planning to UX, embracing her Latinx identity, social responsibilities of HCI, minimalism as a philosophy, and one of Tess' projects that has helped the people in the state of Michigan during the COVID-19 pandemic. What sort of backgrounds do you all come from? How have other parts of your identity influenced your practice in your respective field?
